There’s an article in this week’s edition titled Against All Odds. The piece pulled at my heartstrings because much as we complain about our situation in life, after reading such article, it will be foolish not to thank God for what we have rather than focus on what we do not have. These people written about are faced with ‘being di erent’ and even regarded by some as ’unfortunate’. But what have these people done, they have risen beyond social stigma and used their disadvantage to their advantage! They have scaled the hurdles life has thrown at them and soared high beyond their wildest imaginations. Now, for you to have the type of faith and courage that enables you to ght against all odds, you need to have a healthy dose of self-con dence and determination. You must learn to take reign of how you want to live your life your own way and not by societal dictates. You must plan your evening in such a way that when you look back at your life, you are satis ed and grati ed at what you accomplished. You went against the tide as and when was required and achieved the utmost and desired goals you set for yourself. Life, as we know, can be very short. Do not end up, years down the line, with ‘What ifs’. Instead begin to train your self and your mind that you can achieve anything you want you while you still have your life to live. Yes, sometimes, your con dence might fluctuate depending on what punches life throws at you but always remember, the harder a ball falls, the higher it bounces back up! And in Build Your Self Con dence, another article in this edition, there is a piece that says “Life is full of challenges and there are times when it’s di cult to keep our self-con dence up. Sit down right now and make a list of all the things in your life that you are thankful for, and another list of all your accomplishments. Once your list is complete, post them on your refrigerator door, on the wall by your desk, on your bathroom mirror--somewhere where you can easily be reminded of what an amazing life you have and what an amazing person you really are. If you feel your self-con dence dwindling, take a look at the list again and let yourself feel and be inspired all over again by you.”
Never forget, everything in life is purely mind over matter. It just depends on which one you decide to feed more!
